Most investigations never need to leave an organization, and most don't need to follow the eDiscovery process. Each adds significant time, cost, and external exposure before anyone knows whether the risk warrants it.
Most investigations are business matters first. Get immediate answers from email, collaboration, and AI systems, and escalate only when warranted.

Make critical business decisions in days, not weeks. Risks get resolved with less business impact and exposure.
Sensitive investigations stay within the smallest possible circle with less chance of information leaking.
Fewer disputed findings mean fewer settlements, and less exposure to regulatory action.
Consistent, transparent investigations mean a business can stand behind its decisions and the people making them.
Compliance teams have to decide what happens when a business risk is identified. Each external layer added to an investigation puts them further from the data those decisions depend on.
After rolling out Slack, a major telecommunications company found PII and payment card data in employee messages. Mimecast helped them identify and remediate over 20,000 credit card shares in a single year.

Investigations are sensitive by nature, and each person involved is another point of exposure. Compliance teams can search each data source at once, keeping investigations inside the smallest possible circle.
Each message, file, and event in one record, with participants, attachments, and original versions intact. See the entire picture of what happened, including what was edited or removed.
Ask questions of your data and get results from objective, repeatable searches. The speed comes from AI. The defensibility comes from the method underneath.
A standardized process and minimized data mean investigations hold up wherever they lead. If the trigger event escalates to a legal matter, the work already done carries forward.
